Hall monitors were chosen to patrol the halls-better have your passes, kids. The senior all-county Back to School Hop was much more successful than anticipated. OCTOBER- The seniors gave a party for Ex-Bryanites now in service. You probably saw quite a few G. I.'s roaming the halls about the first of the month. The juniors finally decided to come out of their shells with a Hollowe'en Carnival. NOVEMBER- The basketball season started with two defeats-one which was expected, since the Alumni was made up entirely of former Bryan basketball stars. The other game was quite a shock to us, since the opposing team was Cedarville. School closed for Tnanksglvingg everyone came back with butterflies in their stomachs- too much turkey. DECEMBER- Starting the month with a bang, the band had a very successful carnivalg proceeds went toward the buying of band uniforms. Those sentimental seniors celebrated their last Christmas together with an exclusive party. Sub-zero weather that night didn't keep the boys from coming in from their farms on motorcycles. The last day of school before Christmas vacation we had a school party and the seventh graders had such fun holding mistletoe over the heads of the upperclassmen, or teachers, who were very much embarrassed when they were surrounded by admirers. The sophomores topped it all by sponsoring a formal Christmas dance. JANUARY- Q . Our eleven glorious vacation days lover, we reluctantly came back to that old grind. Slightly down-hearted, no one even laughed at Wallace's jokes. Not forgetting the juniors, we must mention their excitement at receiving class rings for which they had so eagerly awaited since September. Of course they insisted their rings were the best that Bryanites had ever received. FEBRUARY- b' The February Frolics was an especially exciting carnival' because of the Carnival Queen of 1946 who was chosen by the popular vote of the community. A beautiful junior was crowned and runners-up were her attendants. Cedarville took the tournament championship, but we were good sports and wished her the best of luck in the District. Bryan took three of the trophies. junior Hi won one of them. MARCH- After changing 'the date a few dozen times the Curtain Pullers finally presented Daphne, a blood-curdl.ng thriller, just packed with attempted murders. The juniors come up on top-this tlme with a record dance in memoriam to Glenn Miller who lost h.s lile in protection of his country. Profits went toward Junior-Senior Prom. The freshmen decided to have a dance, too. How those freshmen did com-e ong they aren't quite as green as freshmen should be. - The seniors will never forget that grand argument in March over whether to wear caps and gowns or formal attire for Eommencement. . The Bryan seniors were well represented in the State Scholarship tests. On that cold Saturday mornng sleepy-eyed seniors could be seen coming from every direction meeting at the starting station, Erbaugh's Drug Store. The band went all out for farce by sponsoring a basketball game between the band boys and the band fathers. The band mothers made such cute cheer leaders, too. The Athletic Banquet was given for the basketball players and cheer leaders. APRIL- Comes Scholarship tcsts for all those little geniuses that are born at Bryan Hi. You couldn't tell it by looking at them, though, could you? The Curtain Pullers presented their play, a comedy this time, in order that more Dramatic Club members might show their acting abilities. The Home Economics g.rls made us Easter outfit conscious when they gave their style show, modelng outfits they had made themselves. The band and glee club combined gave a spring concert. The juniors and seniors were given the county Anti-Saloon contest quiz. The county winner won an airplane trip. After studying for the quiz all the juniors and seniors knew the effects of alcohol and vowed they'd never touch another drop. MAY- Ah, yes-May always was a memorable month at Bryan. On May 4 was the Junior- Senior Prom for which the juniors worked hard all the year to make it successful. On May 12 was the evening of Baccalaureate services. All dressed in their new spring ic utfits, the graduates looked as if they'd just stepped from the fashion parade. May 17 the seniors make their final, but grandest appearance ever in cream caps and gowns to receive long awaited diplomas. -Barbara Hamilton.
